After leaving the Library of Congress, we headed north, passing the Capitol and Supreme Court, stopping long enough to snap a few pictures. One series in particular was Deya's request. She wanted to me to show documentation that she was perfectly healthy climbing all over DC. You may judge for yourself.
We continued North to Union Station, grabbing a bite of lunch before jumping back on the Metro to head to Arlington Cemetery. Arlington Cemetery occupies 300+ acres across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial. Originally the home and property of General Robert E. Lee, the site is now the resting place for over 300,000 individuals who have served in the US Military. It is a sacred monument to so many who have and continue to serve the citizens of the United States. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to pay your personal respects to generations of Americans who fought for your freedom. A very powerful and hallowed place.After Arlington Cemertery, it was after five and we decided to head back to camp to rest. After an hour of rest, we ventured out on foot, walking to a local dinning favorite, El Pollo Rico. Continuing towards Clarendon (a shopping district) we poked around The Container Store before grabbing some dessert at The Cheesecake Factory. Can you guess what we may have eaten?
